Introduced Text

Pennsylvania SB1255 excludes tips from taxable income for personal income tax purposes.

Pennsylvania SB1255 amends the Tax Reform Code of 1971 to exclude tips from taxable income. Tips, defined as voluntary payments made by customers, will not be included in the calculation of taxable income. The bill also prohibits reclassifying wages or service charges as tips to avoid taxation. The Department of Revenue will create regulations to prevent fraud and misclassification. This change will apply to the next fiscal year following the bill's effective date.
